What New Year's resolutions are people making?

We asked a few Tucsonans to share

My resolutions are the following (in no particular order): to conquer Mount Wrightson (with my new puppy!); to finally learn to make purogi, my family's traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner; to make it to Oregon wine country and indulge in the lovely pinot noir that I keep reading (and dreaming) about!

For 2007, I am resolved to pursuing the life of my cats: sleep all day, play all night, purr when petted and demand high-quality food. I will learn to play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on my musical saw and reduce my 11 screen names down to one. Being a realist, that is about all I can hope for!

My New Year's resolutions for 2007 are to get my World Harmony: Can It Happen? TV program (which is dedicated to creating more human harmony and peace in our world) on the radio, too; to lose weight; and to become a more effective reader.

Simply this: Let the criminal justice system in Pima County beware, because next year some of your big players are going to go to prison. It's real simple.
